Infinity Broadbeach
Infinity Broadbeach is a 39-level residential building comprising 63 apartments with three basement car park levels. Buildings of this height require inspection after initial occupation to identify defects that appear once the building is in use.
Total Inspections completed a 12-month defects liability period inspection to assess building condition across accessible areas, focusing on defects linked to construction, installation, and early movement.
